airtronics vg4r
i have a airtronics vanguard vg4r pcm transmitter, when i went to put in a new battery pack today the battery fail safe started beeping at me, the battery metter reads full so its not low battery and i have no control of the plane. i put the old battery pack in to see if it was the battery and no change. it did this once before when i unhooked the battery pack about a year ago and i cant remember what i did to make it work again. any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: balsa usa 1/4 piper cub kit
i guess heres my two cents worth i like glow or gas not a big electric person my first plane was a tower hobbies tower trainer 40 sized http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCAS2&P=0 i like this plane so much when i crashed my first one i bought another one crashed that one and now using those to build one working one. as im sure your aware this is a hobby that you will crash is just a madder of when so its always nice to have that beat up trainer to fly. and in the spring use it to blow the cobwebs off. i also use real flight Simulator to keep me practiced on flying you can buy a cheaper version on ebay that works im useing version 3.5

RE: balsa usa 1/4 piper cub kit
well sorry for not updating like i would like to i have been finishing up college and now i am done with that i will have more time to focus on the model . i have the body of the plane pretty much done i have installed all of the deck formers and i have built the cabin top i am starting on the fire wall. i have been stalled on the fire wall for a while now cause i haven't been sure what i am powering this with, i got my answer today my saito 120 just came in the mail. i will get the mount marked out and get going on that. this kit has been a great kit everything is going together a lot easier than i thought it would. most of it was most likely first time fears. i will say i have done some stupid first time mistakes but i got everything fixed. if anybody can tell me how to upload pics i will post pics later tonight
